Pros

Bootcamps For Change allows members of the fitness community to contribute to something bigger than themselves in their local community. The business model is unique, the connection to the cause is very evident and impactful. As a director, Bootcamps for Change has allowed me to share my skills and talents with others, providing advice, guidance and making business decisions. Katie, the Founder is very supportive and open minded to new ideas. Working at Bootcamps for Change has provided me with the experience of leading a team of volunteers, the pleasure of meeting great business owners and fitness professionals who are all excited to spread the awareness and contribute to the organization. It has been very rewarding to empower others on how they can help homeless youth by collaborating with Bootcamps For Change. Whether it be volunteering with the organization, volunteering at an in-shelter fitness class, contributing through sponsorship or simply by exchanging a smile to someone that is on the streets. My outlook on the future of this organization is positive.

Cons

As an organization run solely on volunteers there are frequent communication and commitment challenges.

Pros

As someone who has thoroughly benefited from sports and fitness both mentally and physically, when I read the mission of Bootcamps for Change, I was both excited and passionate about their plan to house homeless youth through the structure of fitness. Knowing the benefits for fitness and wellness personally, the idea was phenomenal as not only is the organization able to promote a healthy lifestyle to the youth in the program but also makes the change lifelong as they are able to take the tools learned and obtained through the program with them through their lives. Giving this tool to homeless and at-risk youth allows them to have an outlet where they can build a community with other like-minded individuals as well as somewhere where they can put their energy into. As someone who has played hockey competitively for many years, as well as other team sports, having a community of people positively impacted my mental health. To me personally, a leader means someone that you naturally want to follow, not someone who is just in a position, and although I have not met Katie in person I know that she is someone who would hold this key attribute. From the kind emails asking how you are doing to the connection she brings amongst the team members, it is clear that she cares about everyone that is helping her in the organization! Moreover, she is always there to help you if you need clarification with a project you are working on and provide resources. This is why she has the leadership ability needed to make Bootcamps for Change into a national organization!
